Coming off a whirl wind past few days the Gators have filled a good portion of their class, rose up the rankings and sit in a good place for several more recruits. Here is a rundown of where UF is and what might be next. QB Griffin, UF will only sign Griffin at QB in this class. RB Baker, IMO U will only take one RB this cycle TE Aumua TE On the board, Heze Kent, Carson Sneed. I believe Prothro goes elsewhere. OL Carr, Chancellor, Luckas, Chukuyem Still on the board: Green, Ono WR: Justin Williams (Athlete) Maquez Daniel still on the board, Wingo, Morgan, Daroyon Williams, Davion Groce, maybe a couple of others. DL: McCoy, I'm counting but not counting Perez. Board, Sone, Guervel, Cleveland, James Johnson, Henderson, Kruel, A couple of others. LB: on the board Morris, Forkpa, Izayia Williams, Anthony Davis. DB, Bronaugh, Hall Board, Waters (former commit), Kennon CJ Hester and a few others. Green is scheduled to announce June 26th. A couple of others could pop anytime. Savion Hiter, #1 ranked prospect and RB is said to be getting an NIL between 600-800 thousand. The crazy continues. Sports Grid did a top 100 RB's coming into this season. Jaden Baugh came in at #17. Tops in the SEC were Ahmed Hardy Mizzou @#5, Nate Frazier uga @#10, CJ Baxter Texas (former UF target) #16. Just because of his name Fluff Bothwell Miss State @24. T&M made a splash landing a commit from Lamar Brown #1 ranked DL and DT Sam Roseborough who picked the Aggies over fsu. OT: what a choke job by Arkansas last night losing to lsu in the 9th. Candy
Great stuff Candy. Any rough projections on the ultimate size of the class? 20 - 22? I can't imagine UF taking 27 again unless serious attrition happens during the season.
Losing Perez ? That's not good. We are dangerously low on tackles on roster and need 4 this class IMO. Banks Lyons Boireau Taylor That's it. A injury away from big trouble.
Yes, for this I did not separate. I agree on DT and regardless of who UF gets I would go after a big guy in the portal.
Texas has stockpiled DT's since Sark arrived. This year is no different except the ones they are after...we're after. Johnson Henderson Guervil Kreul Cleveland I mean they can't get all of them?
Preston Carey (DL) visited on the 6th. Another IMG kid. I think we'll get two DL out of Carey, Johnson, Guervil and Sone. (three of them would be a gift) We lose Perez to Ohio St. Kruel and Henderson at edge would be insane. I think we get one of them. I think Mpouna at OT is more likely than Ojo.
Cam's Comments: A Look at Florida Gators' 2026 Recruiting Moving Forward Great breakdown of our 2026 class.
Half the reason we are doing so well.... Will Griffin The Rundown: The longest-tenured commit of the class, Griffin solidifies Florida's recruiting at the position in 2026 and has turned into an extra recruiting staffer for the Gators as he's been integral in helping build the class. It would be shocking to see Florida target anyone else, as Griffin has not only embraced being in the class but also being the leader of the group.
Candy, Do we have the board and interest to land two of the prominent big DTs on the board? I would feel good if we get at least two and add two project types that the staff believes have the potential to be one quarter guys at a high level. I guess I'm thinking guys outside the top 40 but have size, strength, athleticism.
